What makes you beautiful...

Beauty goes further than what we see in the mirror. It's all around us, a celebration of everything in our lives - even those pesky little memories we shove deep down in hopes of never seeing again. Beauty is what fuels our heart, our smiles or tears.

So what really makes us beautiful? Here's what I think...

• When you are brave enough to embrace your feelings- all of them.
  
  
• If you have been to hell and back, your pliability is beautiful.
  
  
• When you are afraid to do something, and you do it anyway.
  
  
• The way our bodies tell the truth is beautiful. We blush when when we are attracted to someone, we blink twice when we lie, we get sick when we push our bodies..
  
  
• The way certain phrases, songs and places bring back memories and an instant smile on your face is beautiful.
  
  
• Loving your pet as much as they love you.
  
  
• Laughing so hard your stomach hurts and you’re shouting- “Stop! I’m gonna piss myself!”(and then proceeding to do so- YES, it's happened to all of us)
  
  
• Intelligence, wisdom, respect and humility are all beautiful qualities.
  
  
• Showing empathy is exceptionally beautiful.
  
  
• It is beautiful to find the strength to ask for help when you need it. 
  
  
• Happiness and fighting for whatever makes you happy is beautiful.
  
  
• Your bare face in the morning is beautiful. 
  
  
• The physical 'leftovers' of our life experiences— scars, stretch marks,laughter lines, wrinkles - They are all beautiful.
